I must say that it's strange that there's so little content for it still. Wasn't it over a year it got released? I think that a bare minimum right now would be a full manual and training missions. Would also be fun with a couple of decent single missions. To be honest I thought they would release at least a couple of fun instant action missions together with NTTR, but I could only find a mission called "Intercept" which must have taken the devs about 5 mins to put together. I'm not sure I will be buying more of Belsimteks modules if this is the amount of content we can expect after so long time.

It seems the kneeboard only shows one page and there's no way to cycle pages. Is this a known bug that will get fixed soon?

It works now! Though the F-86F seems to have a bug at the moment so that you can't cycle pages...

Okay, thanks for the tip. I will change the user and see if it works!

I have had the time to test now but it still doesn't work. The path is the following: Users/Default/Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Kneeboard In the "Kneeboard" folder is two .bmp files. However, when I test the kneeboard in for example the Mig-21 Bis they don't show up.

Thanks for the replies guys. The problem was probably that I didn't name the folder DCS.openbeta.

I've been trying to use uboats radio frequency charts for the F-86F but they don't show up in the game. I've made a new folder called "DCS" in the "Saved Games" folder. In the "DCS" folder I've created a folder called "Kneeboard" and then put the bmp files in that folder. Shouldn't that work?

I'm wondering if there are any plans from someone (ED or third party) to develop a new "green" map (forests or jungle) for DCS? The one we have, Georgia, is very old now and even if it looks alot better with Edge and new ground textures one has to wonder what a completely new map of this kind would look like. I can see that this kind of map is probably alot harder to develop than a desert environment, since the ground detail and also small elevation changes would have to be there to make it truly realistic. Does anyone know if anything is in the works?

I have uncaged it mechanically. It's uncaged for guns but not for rockets.

I just bought the F-86F and I have a question. I'm playing the "Ground attack" instant action mission and when I put the function selector on "Rockets" the sight becomes permanently caged. Only when I switch the selector to "Guns" does the pipper become uncaged. This behaviour is not how it's described in the manual (it says the pipper should float as long as the electrical cage is not activated). Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Problem solved! It turned out my bank had new routines and the card had to be activated for "unsafe" internet purchases (from sites not supporting 3D secure). A temporary lift of this block allowed me to make the purchase.

Yes, same problem with IE and Mozilla. It's strange because I bought NTTR just a couple of weeks ago without any problems.

I've been trying to buy the F-86 now several times but I just doesn't work. I've tried with two different Visas but it either says "Payment failed" or "The Authorisation has been declined by the bank. Please try a different card.". First it says "Payment is being processed" or something like that, but then it just fails. What should I do? Edit: I've tried to make the purchase since yesterday.

To be honest I haven't downloaded the latest update yet. I'll test it right away. Thanks for the quick reply!

Is BFT01 broken in 1.5? I did the start-up and the "tour" around the airport following the Humvee. When we got back he stopped but I didn't get the voice telling me to perform the shutdown procedure. Did I do something wrong or is the mission bugged?

The ones I can think of right away: A-10C F-86 Mig-15 Mig-21 P-51D L-39 Hawk M-2000C (coming soon)

Great to hear that ED are working on fixing the judder. When the judder is fixed I will order Oculus/Vive ASAP. Running DCS smoothly in VR will be a game changer!

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess it's just a matter of going out there and put some hours into training. It will take a lot of time to be good at this but that's the beauty of it anyway. :)

There's no denying that Leatherneck have done an outstanding job on this module. I love everything from how it feels to fly to the amazing cockpit (which is the best in DCS at the moment in my mind). However, I find this to be an extremely difficult plane to put to use. The systems are not the hard part. They're easier than the A-10C. No, the hard part is to use the plane effectively in the following areas: Navigation: I have problems following a route during a mission. Of course you can prepare carefully before a mission which headings to fly and for how long, and how far from RSBN stations you should switch heading etc. I feel there must be a better way though. If I encounter action along the route I'm easily thrown off and my pre-mission notes are no longer useful. Locating targets: Finding ground targets with labels turned off seems almost impossible. In the A-10C you have the TGP and can scout the terrain at a comfortable height, but how do you do it in the MiG? Sniffing the tree tops feels quite dangerous in many cases... Do you have any tips to give to a novice? :)

Okay, I've got mine working now by using the DCS Updater to switch my release version to the Open Beta instead of using a separate install for the Beta. See link below on how to do the switch: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030

Btw, I switched from Steam to standalone release version a couple of weeks ago. Still I haven't once been promted to enter my keys, and all my modules have worked anyway! Should that even be possible? I just downloaded and installed them and they worked. Not so much in 1.5 though...

Yes, same for me. I can't enter my keys. It just says "no key" next to my modules and there's no way to enter any keys either.

Seems as the same problem i have: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=148238

I first tried to copy my A-10C installation directly from the old DCS folder to the same place in the Open Beta folder. When I start a mission all I see is the F10 map. I try to push the F1 key but I can't enter the cockpit. The F2 key works and I can see other planes. So I try a new installation of A-10C into the Open Beta folder, however it complains that this version of A-10C is for DCS 1.2 and not for 1.5, but it's the only version I can find on DCS webpage. So, why can I not enter the plane when I load a mission and how can I fix this. It's the same problem with FC3 btw.
